Abstract

A high frequency arc stabilizing circuit includes a free running oscillator for generating a non-synchronized square wave. An output from the oscillator is buffered and inverted. The asserted and inverted outputs drive field effect transistors coupled to the primary of a high voltage step-up transformer. The circuit can also be gated so as to only operate during selected time intervals.
